1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Radical surgery with extended lymph-node dissection is the treatment of first choice and the only curative treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer. While recent combination chemotherapy with S-1 (a combination of tegafur with two biomodulators, gimeracil and oteracil) has achieved high response rates, controversy still remains regarding the significance of adjuvant cancer chemotherapy after surgery. We have been applying chemosensitivity testing in evaluating the appropriate adjuvant cancer chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. Our multiple studies have indicated that this chemosensitivity testing would be useful to improve the results of adjuvant chemotherapy, by increasing survivals in the sensitive group. The chemosensitivity testing is approved as "advanced clinical medicine" by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Labor at 11 institutes at present. While complete lymph-node dissection and chemosensitivity test-guided adjuvant chemotherapy has been reported to result in a survival benefit for patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer, the clinical utility of the testing should be established by means of prospective, randomized clinical trials. Two pivotal clinical trials have been initiated to clarify the utility of chemosensitivity testing in the selection of the appropriate adjuvant cancer chemotherapy for gastric cancer.
